Alright, I've made a lot of progress. I would now like to be able to delete
all of the previous defines and transcludes that I had at the beginning of
the text field. I want to create a button that would do this automatically
for me. I know it's going to use splitregexp, but I am totally new to
regular expressions and have no idea where to start. Below is the code at
the beginning of the text field for the tiddler that I included the
screenshot for:
\define successor() [[Wichita Northwestern Railway]]
\define proposedroute() From Anthony, through the counties of Harper,
Barber, Pratt, Stafford, Pawnee, Rush, Ellis, Rooks and Phillips, to
Hastings, Nebraska. Length: 275 miles.
\define business() Hutchinson, Kansas; Pratt, Kansas
\define term() 50 years
\define directors() O. P. Byers, Hutchinson, Kansas; E. A. Smith, Kansas
City, Missouri; H. J. Duvall, Hutchinson, Kansas; A. C. Mallory,
Hutchinson, Kansas; R. A. Cox, Pratt, Kansas.
\define capital() $150,000 - 1,500 shares at $100 each
\define stockholders() Same as directors.
\define signers() All the directors; December 3, 1912
\define notes() See: The [[Wichita Northwestern Railway]]
Company<br><br>Amended Charters --- 1916-11-21; Vol. A-22, p. 199;
Increased Capital Stock --- 1917-01-04; Vol. A-22; pp. 274-280; Added more
counties to route --- 1918-04-03; Vol. A-23; pp. 445-447; Increased number
of directors --- 1919-11-24; Vol. A-25; p. 247; Included authority to
operate in Sedgwick County
\define maplink() <a href="./maps/Anthony & Northern Railway.jpg"
target="_blank"> <img align="middle" src="./maps/Anthony & Northern
Railway.jpg" width="468"></a>
\define paper() No
<$list filter="[all[current]!has[notinbarnes]]">
<$transclude tiddler="Barnesbox">
</$transclude>
</$list>
<$list filter="[all[current]has[notinbarnes]]">
<$transclude tiddler="Infobox">
</$transclude>
</$list>
I would like to remove all of this text automatically because there are so
many tiddlers that I'd like to not do it manually. Any ideas for the
regular expression illiterate?
